    That's a great bench - think it pushes you into advanced for that lift based on the exrx standards. Few cycles of 5x5 will see that squat come up for sure!

    Nope - we've 257K thousand employees (and our highly pointless HR tool tells me I've been with the firm longer than 84.62% of them...)

    MRI on my shoulder showed nothing too nasty, just some inflammation of tendons and all my nerve tests came back ok. Got to go back for physio but hopefully nothing that can't be put right. This is good news on an otherwise crappy Monday.

    Amazon Shops on the Local High Street? (Predictions)

Here's what CEO Jeff Bezos has to say on bricks and mortar...

    *** The 2012 Gym Rats Thread ***

    Excuse the self quote...little bit better training today but still far from normal. My googling turns up that this could be nerve issues even though I have no pain - bit of a worry. Will rest up for a week, see if there's any improvement and if not will book myself in for a referral.

    I've had a weird loss of strength in my right arm the past couple of sessions in the gym - really noticeable on OHP but also did bench yesterday and it just felt incredibly weak. No pain, no impinged movement, no pins and needles that would imply a trapped nerve somewhere - it's just being lame...

    Your tips to make Cardio enjoyable

    Recently been doing some boxing training and it's amazing how knackering shadow boxing is - music up, hood up, and after ten minutes you're a sweaty mess.

    Been to the men's 69kg Olympic weightlifting this morning - incredible to see. The top qualifier in the group clean and pressed my deadlift max (185kg) - ridiculous!
